October 12 and 13 the Historic Loveland Castle will become the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry for a weekend of magic and fun! Meet characters from your favorite book series, tour a real stone castle, take wizard classes such as transfiguration, wand dueling, potions, and learn science from the Headmaster himself. Make a house tie, get sorted, see shows, drink some butterybeer, and more!

Last year was a lot of fun and hope we have as much fun this year. Come dressed up if you like.

For all ages- the young and the young at heart!

Curious about bees? This in-depth tutorial is perfect for
you if you are considering raising bees in your backyard, farm or
castle. We will introduce the basics of beekeeping including the
animal itself, the house, and the benefits/ necessities of the Honey
Bee. Also, you will learn about the commerce of beekeeping, including
local apiary services, resources, and supplies, as well as medicinal
& edible products like honey, propolis, wax, royal jelly....YUM!

*A live hive will be installed during this workshop, so
please consider this if you are allergic to bees. We will also be
outdoors.

A word about our very skillful bee expert:

Jeff Harris, Deputy Apiary Inspector

Jeff attended U.C. Biological studies and was recruited as an
apiary field inspector in 2004. He currently works for the Endemology
Dept., under the State of Ohio's Endemologist, Barb Bloetscher. He has
worked with recent projects such as Emerald Ash Borer program and a
grant program involved with environmental pesticide poisons relating to
the Honey Bee. He helps manage, with the cooperation of the
beekeepers, the honey bee stock in Southern Ohio. This consists of +/-
500 sites or 1000-2000 colonies.

We are very deeply saddened to say that last Sunday, March 24th, we lost one of our beloved friends, Lady Shirley. Whenever she was around, you were sure to see a smile on her face, no matter what; the kind that made you want to smile too. We appreciate and will always cherish the beautiful artwork she did for us, hanging in the castle ballroom. Shirley is greatly missed by all who knew her.
